1. With your statures, if you wish, we would obey
With every supple spear, made elegant,
١. بِقَدِّكُما إِن شِئتُما فَتَطاعَنا
بِكُلِّ رُدَينِيِّ القَوامِ مُثَقَّفِ
2. And if you wish with nobility to vie
Before you in the east, all are lesser kin
٢. وَإِن شِئتُما بِالنُبلِ أَن تَتَناضَلا
فَدونَكُما بِالرشقِ مِن كُلِّ أَوطَفِ
3. Do not weigh down your loins with sharpened swords
For in each eyelid of yours, a sharpened edge exists
٣. وَلا تُثقِلا خَصرَيكُما بِمُهَنَّدٍ
فَفي كُلِّ جَفنٍ مِنكُما حَدُّ مُرهَفِ
